Topic: UPS returned my box of NHC beer (Read 7346 times)

There are state by state laws prohibiting the shipping of alcohol without some sort of license. I believe that in California only a retailer of alcohol can ship legally. I imagine there are some states where shipping beer is 100% ok, but since getting them to NHC requires crossing state lines, I doubt it can really be done legally for most homebrewers. Getting a "homebrew competition exemption" for shipping alcohol should be (and probably is) a major focus for the AHA.

SWMBO has bought me the beer of the month thing twice over the years. First time, 5-6 years ago, DHL was the shipper and would not leave without someone 21 there to receive. Then, just last year it was FedEx, and I'd come home from work, and the beer would be waiting for me.........

BTW, I've never had a "good beer" from one of these clubs. All east coast lagers. WE need a BOM club that focuses on northwest IPA's. LOL.
